It is a true story that - on my first ever interview to be a teacher, I was seated in the staffroom and a member of the staff came up and asked me:
"How is your grammar?"
I was decidedly perturbed - not least because I did not want to lie however to be fair my handling of grammatical nuances was not particularly great! So, as quickly as I could I replied:
"She is fine thanks. She is out of hospital now but you know...one step at a time..." and then just for good measure, I feigned a look of surprise and added "How did you know about her?"
The lady laughed, I got the job and then I had to learn about grammar!
On this page I shall attempt to add a few guiding principles, exercises and relevant pages to which we may refer over the course of.. well... the course. Please pop back and check it periodically and fee free to suggest links or resources you would find useful. In the meantime, you may like to look through the pdf of Fix It Writing... plenty to keep you going there.
